Man on trial for rape after ‘refusing to wear condom on the third time he had sex in one-night stand’

A man is on trial for rape for allegedly refusing to wear a condom on the third time he had sex with a woman in a one-night stand.

Imomotimi Wilson, 30, met his alleged victim in a pub and she agreed to go back to his house but told him she would only have sex if he used protection.

They had consensual sex twice but on the third occasion claims that Wilson failed to use a condom.

The woman, a 40 year-old single mother, said Wilson treated her ‘like a piece of meat’ as the attack took place.

She said he held her hands over her head and told her “if you love me you’ll do it” before raping her for 15-20 seconds.

Speaking in her police interview played to Cambridge Crown Court the court, she said: “It was about ten minutes between the first and second time maybe.

“He had taken it off and I wondered whether he thought he would carry on without it the second time.

“I had to force the issue and take it out of the wrapper. If I hadn’t done that I think he would have done it without.

“He had his own agenda and I felt frightened. He was odd. One minute he was really nice and the next minute he was forcing himself on me.

“I thought ‘if I piss him off what’s he going to do?’ His whole agenda was that he wanted to have unprotected sex with me.”

She added: “The smell of him stayed on me.

“I don’t know if its because they are from a different culture and eat different things but I could smell him on my clothes and in my hair.

“I’m not being racist there was just that distinctive smell and that stayed with me.

“He kept saying ‘if you love me you would do it’ and I thought that was crazy as we had only just met.

“Then he’s rammed me in the corner of the bed and forced it in me. I don’t have any choice in the matter.

“I said repeatedly ‘no stop no no’ but he just would not listen. I just managed to get him off and he was really not happy.”

The court heard how the pair met at The Regal pub in Cambridge on June 9 last year and took a taxi back to Wilson’s shared house in the city at 2am.

She then spent most of the evening in bed with the defendant before leaving the property at around 6am.

The court heard how she phoned police later that afternoon and Wilson was arrested.

Caroline Allison, prosecuting, said: “The prosecution say that she had made it perfectly clear in plain straight-forward language that the situation was no condom, no sex and that nothing had happened in the intervening period that would invite a reasonable belief that she was indeed consenting to unprotected sex.”

Wilson, of Cambridge, has pleaded not guilty to rape after claiming he stopped on the third time the woman said no.
